Gavin Newsom is not progressive, not a Democrat, and not a true leader. He's just a guy who gets mad that people pay attention to Trump and not him.

I think it's telling that the only prominent politician in America who is openly, actively embracing trans people and pledging to tackle their needs is also a Democratic Socialist.

It's not meaningless. We MAKE our own meaning through our choices, every day. I believe you're an awesome, skilled, beautiful and kind woman that I'm proud to call sister. I hope you'll choose to believe that about yourself.

I genuinely don't believe there is a "moderate" position with modern Republicans.

Why am I running against a Democrat incumbent? Because Indiana's been declining for as long as my opponent has been in office, and maybe it's time for us to accept that the Indiana Democrats are as much to blame as the Republicans. I'm running because we need new leadership for a new era.

The first official campaign event of my run for Indiana House of Representatives District 61, a forum on trans rights in Indiana. No, I don't think trans rights is too niche to hold a forum on.

Voting isn’t the solution unto itself, but it’s critically important at the local level.

There will be 52,000 elections held next month alone, and many will be determined purely by turnout.

You know what to do.

I'm a transgebder Democratic Socialist running against a moderate Dem incumbent in the Indiana House of Representatives. I've got a lot of work ahead of me and I need help to be able to campaign full time. If you can chip in $5, $10 or even $20 it goes a long way

Punished for being homeless. These are not reasonable stances that you can compromise on. These are materially harmful conditions for people to live under and they must be opposed, loudly and aggressively.

Any immigrants, period. They don't want interracial or same-sex marriages and they definitely don't want trans people to be able to transition in any capacity. They don't want worker's unions and they don't want livable wages. They don't want affordable housing and they want people to be
